DESCRIPTION:

A contemporary retelling of Shakespeare’s tender, violent, moving and shocking play, considered by many to be the greatest tragedy ever written. King Lear sees two aging fathers – one a King and another, his courtier – reject the children who truly love them. Their blindness unleashes a tornado of pitiless ambition and treachery, as family and state are plunged into a violent power struggle with bitter ends. The play is directed by Jonathan Munby and stars Sir Ian McKellen.
